hes just bad at qb. I look at like if he wants to make money, he better play other positions at his pro day just in case. not just throwing deep. 

He is about 3D the player Richardson was in college. I am not sure that is the bar, but is a data pt for Milroe. There is going to be someone that thinks they can coach him up

Or maybe Richardson's performance will hurt Jalen.  He's been painful to watch at times.  Also not sure Milroe is the freak that AR is

I can see it but it'll cost someone a job if drafted early. like I said , rooting for him , just think he needs a lot of coaching to be serviceable in nfl. late draft pick as qb to good team is perfect for him.

He’s behind Milroe and allar as prospects for a reason

I don't pay attention to the NFL very much so I really try not to project, but I watched Allar against SMU and he looked like warm ass.  He's also not coming out for the draft.

Milroe?  Seems a wild card.  Other running QBs have been selected plenty high.  No idea where he lands.

The bootlickers make it worse for Quinn. Pumping get the guy up as Josh Allen or Mahomes when he slightly above average.  His td/int ratio is similar to klubnik, almeyer and Nico whatever’s.   
 

Quinn is ok but there’s a reason he’s qb 4 at best in this draft. 
 

He’s behind nussmeir here:

behind milroe???? no fucking way. if your saying he's behind milroe at running back position than I believe it. whoever drafts milroe as qb in first 2 or 3 rounds will be fired as they should be. carry on 

Remember when we had the conversation about Anthony Richardson a few pages back, well Jalen Milroe is a better version of him.

I love big behind the keyboard talkers. Guys like you already ran off one quarterback that hasn't played here in 20 years but still refuse to come back to campus. You think this level of criticism for a QB who is already number 3 in our lifetimes is normal? It's not. Not for a QB who is in back to back CFPs. You only think this is normal because its the same shit you did to Simms. The kid is out there handling it solidly. I am just telling you he can't wait to put Texas behind him and that's a shame. A person doesn't need to be someone's agent to call out shitty fans. And you sir are a shitty fan. I will make sure to tell you that face to face at the next tailgate.

Show your work on this….you keep making these claims but provide no proof. Simms has plenty of proof of what happened with him(death threats, feces smeared on his vehicles) and most people now don’t blame him and want to bring him back to make him feel welcomed. 


so show your fucking work pussy

No way I would ever put Major or Simms above Colt, and probably not above Layne or Street.

Sark's been setting the table the whole season with that play. We'll run something that starts out looking like that play, the defense will bite, and then it will be BOOM! so long it's been good to know ya, sayonara etc ....

5-D chess

This was literally the case in the championship game in the 4th quarter where a touchdown wins and field goal ties. The wheel route was wide open and Quinn had 0.07 seconds to get the ball out.

Thankfully, NFL fans treat their QBs with the utmost respect and gratitude.

I don't doubt that, at times, it probably isn't super enjoyable to be the QB at Texas. But you know what you are signing up for when you come here, and if you want to play football at the highest level, you need to get used to the spotlight and scrutiny. Yes, the Manning stuff adds an extra layer to the entire thing, but let's not act like there weren't people saying they were ready to start the Casey Thompson era after the 2020 Alamo Bowl and they were ready to turn the page from the Ehlinger chapter. Even the more celebrated QB's in Texas history went through some shit. John Chiles needs to replace Colt McCoy! I'm sure the talk shows and message boards will be mellow and reasonable the first time Manning has a poor performance next year.

Among all Longhorn QBs, Ewers will finish his career as 3rd all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns. 2nd all-time in Passing Efficiency Rating (147.6), only trailing Colt McCoy (155.0) and 2nd all-time in the percentage of attempts intercepted (2.1%), just behind Sam Ehlinger (1.8%)

Show some damn respect.

Nolan Ryan has the record for most strikeouts (5,714), most ho-hitters (7), most complete-game 1-hitters (12), fastest pitch ever thrown (108.5 MPH!), and a bunch of other good records in baseball.  He also has the record for most walks (2,795), and a number of other "modern baseball" bad records along with bad fielding percentage, bad wins/losses, bad on stolen bases, etc.  He also has the most badass fight on the mound EVER - at the age of 46. 

Stats are fun.

Interesting title for that youtube video.  One guy was duking it out, one guy was getting pummeled.

Back then the term FAFO wasn't mainstream.  Now the title would be "Young Guy FAFOd, Old Guy Had Fun."

Over the years both Ryan and Ventura (together) signed a bunch of those framed pictures.  It is an all-time classic.  I've watched the video again at least 3 times today, laughing every time.  Then I think about Frank Thomas (who was in that video in the fight) now doing commercials for testosterone boner pills and I laugh some more.  "She'll like it too..." - Good times.

He may be he may not. Kevin Jennings was a gamer until Saturday. You don't know a kid is a gamer until they face live bullets. The only sure thing was Vincent Paul Young Jr. There was no doubt he was going to wreck shop when he got to college. An absolute freak of nature.

Who is insulting Arch. I am calling it how it is. Listen to you all. Dude is in the quarters of the CFP and y'all are ready to jettison this dude into the sun no matter the outcome of this season because you think the guy behind him is better than he is with no proof of that other than two games vs the two worst opponents on our schedule.

Colt threw 18 interceptions in 2007 and hadn't done anything great up until then. Ewers threw 6 picks last year, won the big 12, got us into the CFP, and almost the championship game despite us letting the opposing QB throw for 430 yards on us. It's one thing to not be good. Players know when they can't play and accept their lot in life for the most part. But to already be the 3rd in almost every category. To have taken your school to two straight conference championship games, and two straight CFPs? That's a shit sandwich for someone who has helped get us back on the mountain top.

In my lifetime the most hated QBs on the 40 were Simms, Ewers, and Gilbert in that order. One of these things is not like the other. Ewers is 2-1 vs OU. He threw for 452 and and 358 in his two conference championship appearances. Even last year in the CFP game. He didn't hit the last throw but dude threw for 318 and no picks. Win at a high rate. Beat OU. Get us to conference championships. Ewers has done all three and we still dislike him.

Agree with the overall message of your post, but Gilbert was literally booed off the field. Think you might be underselling that just a bit.

I’m not hard pushing for arch to replace him.   It’s too late now but I don’t think Quinn should come back to us next year.  I don’t want to lose three years of Arch for a year of Quinn.  
 

But I was in the stands. Quinn got a lot of praise and cheer.  However his stats show he’s slightly above mid. The guys we make fun of, Klibnik, Allar Nico etc have similar numbers.  Instead of acknowledging that you guys dog our other players

 

Also let’s be real our qb lineage ain’t exactly world class.

I can get why he wants to move on. I can also get why that shouldn’t bother him. Both can be true. I forgot his record something like 20-5. And we still bitch about him. The whole fan base screams like little girls when arch comes in. He’s taken us to the playoffs 2x. Our best qb in a while. There’s nothing he can do to make all of us like him, winning the championship maybe but then some will say well if arch was in we would’ve blown out more teams.


This is why I always felt bad for him. We always want the next person. I tried to stick with him as long as I could But it started to fade for me after Georgia the 1st time. His play speaks for itself.

I really do want him to win the championship so he can stick it to the whole fan base though.

We aren't Alabama. There aren't 5 stars everywhere. The only 5 stars are the QB, a receiver that has been largely a disappointment to this point, and a couple linemen. Bama was better than you at every single position on both sides of the ball.

His qb stats are slightly above average.  

Career, week,  year, doesn't matter, not true, not compared to the entire country. He is easily top 1/3rd and top ten in some statistics. I guess it depends on your definition of "slightly above average". I guess Arch must be an average QB if he is getting splinters behind some JAG.

Arch is a redshirt freshman who has played decent.  I hope you will root for him as well
